I have used a jQuery multiple file upload control [ MultiFile from fyneworks http://www.fyneworks.com/jquery/multiple-file-upload/#tab-Overview ] to collect some filenames but can't work out how to upload them on the server.
The standard asp:FileUpload control only seems to allow single files and I don't want to use the swfupload control, just plain old aspx.
(I have answered this question myself, I just had problems finding the answer via goole or SO and it seems useful ...)
This code works for what I need, thanks to Suprotim Agarwal http://www.dotnetcurry.com/ShowArticle.aspx?ID=68
Once the files have been chosen using a suitable jQuery multiple upload control (eg MultiFile from fyneworks http://www.fyneworks.com/jquery/multiple-file-upload/#tab-Overview) and the submit button has been clicked, call the following code in the aspx file
HttpFileCollection hfc = Request.Files;
for (int i = 0; i < hfc.Count; i++)
{
HttpPostedFile hpf = hfc[i];
if (hpf.ContentLength > 0)
{
hpf.SaveAs(Server.MapPath("Uploads") + "\\" + System.IO.Path.GetFileName(hpf.FileName));
}
}
HttpFileCollection uploads = HttpContext.Current.Request.Files;
for (int i = 0; i < uploads.Count; i++) {
HttpPostedFile upload = (HttpPostedFile)uploads[i];
